Can you be too old to text? Nahhh. So proves doyenne of the silver screen, Dorothy Dare, in this story from the Daily Express, picked up by Yahoo News.
Link: Y! India Movies – E-mail, SMS keep Dorothy Dare and Elizabeth Taylor in touch
While most elderly stars would say that using the internet or sending SMS to friends is not their cup of tea, actress Dorothy Dare surely is one actress who knows how to operate the contemporary technology.
The actress who starred in Gold Diggers Of 1935 alongside Dick Powell and opposite Bette Davis and George Brent, says that she uses her computer to keep in touch with her friends.“All my friends are on e-mail now. Some of us have arthritis so it’s easier to e-mail than write letters these days,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.
The piece goes on to explain how Dorothy recently received a text from a former colleague aged 100+. Impressive!
I hunted for a picture of Dorothy.. but couldn’t find one so used one of dear Liz Taylor in her prime.
“Liz Taylor in her prime”
Certainly true! 😉
Interesting factoid about the texting though 😉 Nice one!

I correspond with Ms. Dorothy Dare several times a week. She is a delightful and charming lady. She has autographed photos for me and answered questions about films and stars of her era.
